A2 uses a way different system at least up to the first relay shaft.
I'm pretty sure the rods don't swap between A1 and A2. I just took
a look and don't see any similar part numbers.

So long as it fits around the accessories and over the end engine mount it
should work. You'll just have to check and see. The end engine mount/pump
mount is the thing I'd be most concerned about.

I think I looked this up a few weeks ago and the water pump housing is
